We all remember the saliva-inducing CrunchPad whose
photos were "leaked" back in April; the tablet has a yummy 12" touchscreen, boots straight into a customized Webkit browser running atop a Linux core, has an Intel Atom processor, and is designed to be sold for under $300. As it turns out, it's
nigh on to be released as Michael Arrington, the one behind the idea, will be debuting the device at "an event" later in July or early in August. After that, the tablet is supposed to be available "as soon as possible," though just when and where is still unknown. Hopefully "as soon as possible" is a matter of a few weeks after the event. The sub-$300 idea is giving me itches for it to be on sale now.

Just thinking out loud: in the SF Bay Area, later this month will be OSCON 2009 (in San Jose), and then early next month will be OpenSource World 2009 (at the Moscone Center)...
Michael Arrington lives in Southern California?
Hmm....
